Christmas has come early for Pretty Little Liars fans! After starring as Aria and Ezra, also known as Ezria, for seven years, Lucy Hale and Ian Harding have finally reunited on-screen for a holiday rom-com that is bound to delight audiences.
“I think specifically for The 12 Dates of Christmas, we have so much history. So, to work with someone that I feel just like myself with and to feel so comfortable with, I feel like we picked right up where we left off. And so, you unlock the best version of me just by being you,” Hale explained. “I feel like you listen to me. Not just as a person, but also in the scenes.”
Harding then reflected on watching the film for the first time, adding, “I felt like it was very comfortable, like you could see that there was an ease. And sometimes you don’t get that because you’re working with a new actor and you don’t know kind of what they’re like or how they respond, especially with me when I don’t know my lines and I just make them up.”
As for the pride they felt in how they’ve grown as actors individually, Hale shared, “I feel like we are older, not a lot older, a little bit older, but definitely wiser. I was saying last night to so many people, we’ve known each other through so many versions of life, so to be at this more mature, wiser version, both as artists and people, is just such a gift.”
“I would say wiser too, not to just steal your thing, but maybe even a groundedness. You’ve always been very sort of sure of yourself,” Harding expressed. “Or at least you could — it looked like you did, but now, I think you’re really like, oh no, you’re this whole and wonderful person, and I think it comes through in the work.”
